NEET2001PhysicsThermal Properties of MatterActual
A constant pressure air thermometer gave a reading of 47.5 units of volume when immersed in ice-cold water, and 67 units in a boiling liquid. The boiling point of the liquid, is
Options
- A125^ C
- B100^ C
- C135^ C
- D112^ C .
Correct answer
D. 112^ C .
Step-by-step solution
A constant pressure air-thermometer is based on the law V₁ T₁ = V₂ T₂ T₂ V₁ = V₂ V₁ Here it is given that V₁=47.5 aligned & V₂=67 & T₁=0^ C =273 ~K aligned aligned T₂=273 67 47.5 & =385.07 ~K & =112^ C aligned
